    Insane Busa Clip!

    I have a clip of a BUSA cruising @ 220 mph. It's not a site, it's a video clip and other than e-mailing it to people directly, I'm not sure how to share it with you.

    Is it the 500HP Ghostrider turbo Busa? If so, that is a sweet ass video!

    I'm not sure. The cam was mounted on the gas tank with the tach and speedometer visible and a bit of the wind screen. The rider holds a wheelie through 5th gear and continues to accelerate to 220mph which he holds for a good 15 seconds. It's pretty sweet!

    ok.... now i HATE it when people watch a video & immediately call it out as a fake...

    (BEET!!! )

    ... but i dunno... the scenery didn't really look like it was passing by at 220mph to me.

    Now is it possible for a busa to do 220? yeah, absolutely... but it just didn't feel like it there. And the speedo took a few seconds to start dropping when he closed the throttle, so it was well over 220 indicated...

    Only if it has a turbo and has been geared up. You need an incredible amount of HP to hit that speed with a stock bodied busa because the wind resistance is huge.

    As a for-instance, a guy I know who runs the Maxton mile can only run about 207 on a 12R with a modified body and a 100-shot (wet) nitrous system. That puts him in the upper 260 to low 270 horse power range.

    I believe the current Maxton mile record is around 237mph by Wayne Pollack on Rich Yancy's 400HP turbo busa.

    The place to look is the Bonneville salt flats... I want to say the record for a turbo Busa is in the 230-240mph range?

    This kind of looks like the speedo is off.. but no doubt the bike is fast.

    But I guess if a stock 10R can now hit 150 in about 9-10 seconds a bike with 200+ hp ought to blast up to 200mph pretty quick.

    Looks like this bike does

    30-100 in about 5 seconds off the roll
    30-150 in about 11 seconds
    30-200 in less then 20 seconds..

    I've seen that vid before, I don't think thats an actual 220mph.

    If the bike has altered gearing and the speed indicator pickup is in the tranny, that would give an exaggerated reading, wouldn't it?

    That bike is a turbo Busa(listen and you will hear the blow off valve) with over 500RWHP and capable of over 220MPH but...............it is geared so the speedo is off. The owner of the bike posted up on one of the Busa forums.


    Remeber the Maxton mile is a one mile drag race, they are going from a dead stop to one mile where they have to shut down so bikes top speeds there will be higher given enough room. Yancy has run at 250MPH at Maxton. The record for the Salt flats on a stock bodied Busa is over 250MPH by John Noonan. The salt flats are harder because of the tire slipage that occurs, not near as stable as pavement but it won't destroy your tire either.

    When you start flirting with the 200MPH range it takes at least 20RWHP more in perfect conditions on a Busa to break that 200MPH barrier. From what I'm told the key at Maxton to break 200MPH is 200RWHP.

    What if the guy geared the bike down which would make the speedo error very high? Then the speedo would read 220 while he is only doing 180ish. Does the Busa have the speedo sensor on the srpocket countershaft like Yamahas?

    I could even make my bike look like its doing 300 depending on how I calibrate the speedo healer. The video definitely could be fixed.

    read my above post. the bike was geared and it was a speedo error but it is capable of those speeds.

    point being

    The sensationalism of the vid is its a record of 210+ mph, except that is not the case so it's just another busa.

    BUT, its pretty damn cool how fast it gets wherever it does end up, turbo'd bikes are pretty interesting in that regard.

    it's been a few years but I'm guessing low-mid 180's in that vid.

    edit: not arguing any points here, I have read all the above posts, Im just clarifying it

    I must be behind the times. I didn't realize he made it to 250+! Not that 240 in the Mile is slow.

    False MPH....no turbo blow off..so it's naturally aspirated...plus no boost gage.
    If it was a done up motor, it wouldn't be idling that smoothly.
    It's a big speedo error. Christ, my TLR reads 185+ mph on the speedo while doing pulls on the dyno, and it's REAL speed according to the dyno is 163....

    I don't buy it....

    A 1397cc Hayabusa will idle just like a stock motor, even adding larger cams won't make it sound all that different not to mention not everyone puts the boost gauge in the same spot, some put it on the inner fairing panel.

    Even then though I don't think that is the video I'm thinking of with the 500+turbo Busa, but it looks similar to that one.

    I've got enough forced induction experience under my belt to know that Busa is not turbocharged. When the BOV or wastegate blows, you can't miss hearing it, as well as the Turbo spooling up...When this guy shifts, there is no evidence of forced induction.

    Go find a Turbo Busa video on the net..and give it a listen. Totally two different animals.

    I also did not hear a turbo on there. I just heard the typical 4-cylinder roar.

    And that had to have been an altered speedometer. It made it to the max indicated speed very quickly and pinned while the tach continued to increase.

    I just wrote that it wasn't the video that I was talking about, and I agree that it wasn't a turbo.

    ....and you can easily tell he isn't doing 220mph just by watching the lines go by....FAKE!

    Even if he had 1397cc's I still don't think he could go 220mph naturally aspirated. Gonna need $hitload$ more work than bumping it up 100 cc's and dropping a cam in it. What's another 100 cc's gonna get you? Maybe....another 20-25 hp?

    I think this Myth is BUSTED!
